Well, if none of that stuff fixes your problem, these cars are equipped with automagic idle control. There is some way you can tune it back up if its wrong. the instructions are in the owners manual. anywho good luck fixing your car bro!

That sure looks like a Frankwire job. It did not come from the factory like that for sure.
It's definitely something electrical. That's why it's worse when it's raining. Something that should be insulated is not, and the water is acting as a conductor to make it even worse. Now we just need to narrow down the possibilities starting with the cheapest fixes first. I'd unwrap all that black tape and check the wire connections to make sure that they aren't corroded. Someone obviously tore apart the split loom around the wires and wired something up..... Possibly a new pigtail connection for the coil. They may not have done a good job insulating the wires or protecting them from the elements. Electrical tape alone won't cut it.

Start with wires. Cheapest fix.
If that doesn't work, do your coilpack. Buy them both and if the wires fix it, return the coilpack.

Good idea on the return, I'll keep it in my car with my tools in case of rain.
I broke my large spanner last month So Mr. Black&Tan what else do you drive? (Mmmm Black n Tans) Last edited by Gobliz; 09-12-2012 at 08:36 AM. Reason: You turn your car on, but does it return the favor? |
